Monaco (a) pre-match thread

[Chi-town blues]

Protect the lead and hit on the counter?

 

[kaz7]

All out attack,we will both score plenty and it's not our game to defend and counter

Beta blockers and defib to hand

Always rated moutinho .Just scored class goal against Bordeaux.

Been having a discussion on the Monaco tkts thread about the notorious...i kid you not....Nice Ultras, just a heads up to any blues staying in Nice to keep your wits about you, this lot nicknamed BSN or Brigade Sud Nice are the most violent firm in the whole of France and hate the English

Our away form is pretty good, not worried at all.

That's true but we will co ncede a couple at least and we have gone back to missing our chances again today,it'll be a humdinger of a game whatever happens,behind the sofa for me lol

Falcao went off injured today,(bruised ribs apparently).

Standard, doesn't everyone hate us?

True lol, this lot were out in force during the Euros, they kicked off with N.I. and the Poles, had a go at English and Russians as well
Just giving a heads up to travelling blues who are staying there, it's a great place i'm sure but just be careful, don't want bevvied up blues wandering about and getting set upon

 

[Bill]

I'm going to enjoy a bit of sunshine. :)

We'll draw the game.

 

[MarsLlama]

Here's an insane sentence: We'll concede fewer in Monaco than we did in Manchester because we'll have Kolarov at CB this time.

Imagine saying that eight months ago.

I think we'll get a 2-2.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Be nice to score first, else there could be a fair bit of self induced pressure.

There was a little mob of them in Dusseldorf after the BMG game, looked to be looking for mither.

And where is this area to avoid???
Id of thought most blues will be around the promenade and the old town?

Not sure but another poster on the Monaco tickets thread said he was there with Northern Ireland and the Nice Ultras were coming at them and the Poles from all directions and then vanishing
Google Nice Ultras it's all there, this BSN mob are outlawed in France , to belong to it or displaying their banners can land you in jail, their leader is looking at 7 years after being arrested in February

Based on recent team selections, I think we'll line up like this:

Caballero
Sagna
Stones
Kolarov
Clichy
Fernandinho
Silva
De Bruyne
Sane
Sterling
Aguero

Think we'll definitely have to score out there, maybe twice, to get through to the next round.

Regarding the Nice ultras, not heard much about Spurs fans having any trouble there earlier in the season?

 

[mat]

A boring as fuck 0-0 to piss off UEFA TV ratings will do.

 

[vmsuhail]

A Mourinho style boring 0-0 would do for me. Please Pep, put on a defensive master class and extend our record to 7 away consecutive clean sheets.

I'd be very surprised if Yaya doesn't start.

I doubt we will stop them from scoring. Think we're in for more goals.
